As a sequel to this post, I'm adding yet a few more reasons to the list of why I might be a kill-joy mother, further depriving my children of a fulfilling summer vacation. I've banned TV. I've not only banned it, I've literally pulled the plug. Well, I've turned the power switch in the back of the console to the 'off' position. Perhaps it was my son parroting the word 'jackass', learn… Continue

Grumpy followed me home from Disney World and then multiplied! Have you ever noticed your kids can be a real bear after a vacation? MA woke up and didn't want to go to school. She didn't know why, she just was feeling down. (Grumpy #1) After talking with her about it, Hubby beat me to the shower so I went downstairs to goof around till he was done. When I got back upstairs he had turned everything off (radio, heater, etc.) because he wasn't sure I was going to shower. Uh, hello, I have to go to… Continue

This weekend it was just the two of us, my DP (dear partner, right? or shall I say S.O. for significant other? Not up on all the terms LOL) Anyway, he is in Japan on a business trip so all attention was on/is on Hayden fully and completely (which I love). As I have written before, my son has a complete and TOTAL obsession with airplanes and anything that flies, so his idea of a great day is to go to an airport and watch the planes land and take off. His favorite is "Airbank", officially known a… Continue

I've always wondered how I'd react in the face of danger, especially if my children were ever threatened with serious bodily harm. At approximately 7:15 this morning, I got to find out. My two oldest kids catch the bus at the end of our driveway; but since we live off a busy road and they are required to cross the street, either my husband or I wait with them to walk them across and ensure they board the bus safely. The bus did this morning as it does every morning; it put on its… Continue

I knew it would happen one of these days, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. My children can now outrun me. All three of them. I used to be quick as a flash, before time settled on my backside. But now? Now I'm lucky just to keep pace without coughing up my spleen or some other vitally important internal organ. Bridget, my ever-naked and stubborn three-year-old, made a mad dash out the front door donning nothing more than a very stinky diaper. No, she's not pooping in… Continue

When my almost 7-year-old son arrived home from school the other day, he walked through the door with his arm outstretched, note in hand. "This is from the teacher," he said. Uh-oh, I thought. Notes are never good. It simply stated that I should ask my son about what had happened at school that day and anticipate a follow-up call from the teacher. Uh-oh, I thought again. He must have done something really bad. "Jacob, the note says the PE teacher had to pu… Continue
